I've had this persistent itching around my anus for three days now, and it sometimes comes with a burning sensation. It's not constant, but it keeps coming back. Do you have any idea what might be causing this or any remedies I could try? I'm starting to get a bit worried.

Is there a good alternative to Sompraz L that's safer for daily use? I don't want surgery since multiple endoscopies and doctors say it's not needed yet, but I'm concerned about how these meds might affect my health over time. Any suggestions for a safer long-term option?

For long-term management of hiatal hernia-related acidity, a safer alternative to Sompraz L could be a combination of lifestyle changes, H2 receptor blockers, or even trying shorter courses of PPIs with breaks to monitor symptom recurrence. It's crucial to discuss these options with your doctor to determine the best approach for your specific situation

I've been feeling pretty rough with some nausea and fever on and off. I just got my test results back, and my bilirubin levels are showing a total of 1.3 with direct at 0.4 and indirect at 0.9. My SGPT is at 21.8 and SGOT at 25.9. Does this mean I have jaundice? I'm a bit worried and could really use some advice on how to manage my bilirubin levels.
